This June, ascendant Russian record producer THIR13EN returns to Australian drum and bass powerhouse
ProtoCode with his first drop of 2021: his first EP, Desecrated Village.

First appearing on the label last autumn with his thrilling debut single “Jackin” / “19 By 6”, the
Moscow-based talent has since gone from strength to strength, guesting on German institution Subplate
Recordings with the sparse, minimal two-tracker “Deactivated” / “Vital Signs” and earning endorsements
from the likes of Bass Portal and RTR FM. Drumming up a loyal following with his intricate, yet potent
approach to production, THIR13EN has turned his hand to everything from neurofunk to dancefloor D&B
with ease—with his latest outing further cementing his status as a versatile beatmaker over the course of
four high-octane cuts.

The Desecrated Village EP’s opener, “Mob Pasta”, utilises a clamouring combination of sampled raps,
formant snarls and busted, metallic percussive strikes, culminating in a truly raucous affair. “Complainer”,
meanwhile, is a tightly programmed triumph, its detailed, techstep-leaning arpeggios leading into gritty,
yet pared-back crescendos with an irresistibly funky underlying groove. The project’s namesake,
“Desecrated Village”, is a comparatively cinematic but equally turbulent number, with the fledgling artist’s
penchant for sampling shining through in the form of spoken-word excerpts. Last up is “For Today”, a
lighter concoction anchored on a saccharine topline, rugged, rolling basslines and twinkling synth plucks
which showcases a markedly different side to THIR13EN.

Find the EP exclusively on Beatport and Spotify from 7 June; it’s set to reach the full range of outlets a
fortnight later on 21 June 2021.

A fact unknown to many is that the essential biological constructors of flesh, bone, sinew, and organ share a common form and structure within the bodies of beast and man alike. Though there exists a variance in their material composition and in their function, the base layer of these structures is much the same no matter the organism on which they can be found. As such, there exists a significant opportunity for the TRANSMUTATION of these traits between host organisms, birthing chimera and bringing to light new lifeforms built upon the most successful elements of other species that possess abilities beyond those of the sum of their parts.

One need look no further than the MYTHIC IMAGE upon the cover of this tome to begin to conceptualize such ideals, though doing so may require the reader to peer beyond their own biases as to the “righteous” state of the human form. Beneath this visage and within the pages that follow are a variety of rituals and practices that may imbue those who dare walk the path of TRANSMUTATION with the scales of great wyrms, the instinct of apex predators, the vision of raptors, and the characteristics of many other beasts altogether too strange to qualify in writing alone. Within is described the path of the meta-being, one that transcends classification and becomes an entity all of their own. Should you possess the fortitude to undertake this journey, your form shall possess abilities unlike any before you. Yet be forewarned, inquiring reader, for those who lack in this all-important quality are like to find themselves reduced to the selfsame basal state on which the techniques laid out in this tome are predicated.

NICKBEE and RIVER ACCROSI’s MYTHIC IMAGE returns to EATBRAIN for their second EP, TRANSMUTATION, which features three tracks set to fundamentally alter the sonic states of any would-be listeners that are exposed to their shifting tonalities. The EP’s title is thus a promise to the eager ears of the EATBRAIN horde, mutating their monstrous forms further in wrapt dance under the guidance of MYTHIC IMAGE’s exacting hand.

After quite some time I finally decided to upload this remix by the astonishing producers DROPSET & BAD SYNTAX. Their track Veracity is released by Abducted LDT and they decided to make a Remix Contest for it. I never really made it to the contest but it was quite some fun remixing this amazing tune.
Enjoy!

Alongside the delicious aggressiveness that made Audio so renowned, his ‘Beastmode’ LP cracks him open like you’ve never heard him before. Fiercely powerful, yet intricately different, each cut from his debut album on the Ram Records imprint packs a very different punch whilst hitting with the same fierceness and wealth of talent. 

‘Beastmode’ reflects all his output to date. Whether it’s the old-school flavor of virus, or the steppy-unapologetic riddims he’s served up for Ram, this record won’t leave you questioning who rules supreme over the genre’s murkier waters. 

Whether it’s the half-time, two stepping ‘Move it Along’ or the pulsing, snarling undertones of ‘Thud’, you’re blessed with a barrage full of fresh sonic assaults. ‘Thunder Ridge’ serves as the perfect opener, a brand new record with synth-laddered foreboding intro which pushes you below the surf. Tinkling hi-hats and a distorted LFO adds shockwaves throughout the mix, submerging you even deeper. Urgent, pulsing and nastily crafted, this is Audio at his most fearsome. 

On the other hand, ‘Rogue’ presents a clanking, runaway riddim that snaps its teeth with every break. Stacked between ominous build ups and jaunty samples, the second drop flairs out as angrily as the first, demonstrating Audio’s ingenious sound design. 

And flipping the switch once again is ‘Sovereign’, a nod to the producer’s roots and a track that gradually builds its presence throughout. Between warbling stabs and peddled kick drum, you’re drawn by the aural nerves. Elevating beat patterns set you up for another descent into madness, through a stringently tight composition. 

Featuring artists, such as drum & bass heavyweight Prolix, also take center stage. Their collaboration ‘Creatures’, alongside the revered lyricist Nuklear MC, adds a welcomed surprise. ‘Creatures’ delivers everything you’d expect and more; steroid-pumped subs, the dark overture of Nuklear and apocalyptic atmospherics. 

Also featured on its weighty track listing are singles ‘Make it Happen’, ‘Overdose’, ‘Drop it Human’ and ‘Shatterdome’. They were a precursor for what was to come, which signified one of the darkest, most uncompromising productions yet on Ram Records… In all of its twenty five years of history.

French drum & bass producer The Clamps has become more and more of an identifiable force, with his forthcoming EP on veteran Prolix’s Trendkill Records quickening his pace to the top echelons. The Clamps production has often been an enviable trait, something which the artist has been refining over the past few years; this hasn’t gone unnoticed by the heaviest hitters within drum & bass, which is why he came under the radar of Prolix. And The Clamps fits well within Prolix’s growing arsenal of producers, something which the head honcho has also spent years refining. When it comes to the genre’s darker sounds, Trendkill is a go-to imprint, dominating both charts and DJ sets during its expansion. With a host of main-stay labels already ticked off by Prolix himself, it made sense for him to build a musical hub which highlighted the sounds influencing his own output.

Since the late 90s, The Clamps has spent his time pouring over the intricacies of everything from hard techno to drum & bass. After initially making a name for himself on homegrown label Kosen Production, he’s become more and more of a pivotal figure throughout the wider music circuit. Now having released on imprints such as Invisible, Titan, Eatbrain and Impact Music, his forthcoming ‘I Feel’ EP is a return to form, following the explosion of his ‘The Odyssey’ LP in 2018.

First track ‘No Reality’ creates an intro which is instantly encapsulating with its steppy instrumentals and patches of waif-like samples. Once it drops, through its pounding drum stabs, you’re taken directly into the belly of the best. Title-track ‘I Feel’ is just as chaotic, tearing through with robotic vocal interludes. ‘Mind Exploration’ runs through next, with an old-school reminiscing as you’re yet again released against its manic mechanics. ‘Interaction’ is the final track, foreboding as it begins to wheel you towards its first climatic breakdown. Each punching horn takes you in deeper before its sci-fi atmospherics leave you to its driving ferociousness.

Trendkill Records are back, with help from The Clamps - proving that the next year is titled to be one of their biggest yet.

Topped by a pair of dated hats, two trenchcoats loomed within the neon lit alleyway. Against the glowing backdrop of the city, their canvas forms were anachronistic, seeming to have stepped forth from the silver screens of a heyday long since past. So too unnerving was the silence with which they observed the scene before them, the disfigured and mangled robotic corpse which lay upon the dampened asphalt below. Collecting no evidence nor performing no noticeable forensics, the figures stood stock still as though shocked by that which lay before them. A murder of cold intention, somehow conducted despite the vicegrip of the security network that they represented. One might have expected such if viewing the scene at a certain angle, but in the eyes of the murderer hidden away on a nearby rooftop a different scene was portrayed.

A sole held breath escaped the murderer's mouth as he viewed the metallic investigators below. Mockeries of classical representations of his own form, their old fashioned garb did little to belie the inhuman appearance of what lay beneath. These beings of circuitry and alloy scanned the crime scene with impossible precision, imaging it’s every quality to be processed within the greater security mainframe. His single shot had been perfect, with no ammunition casing left behind, but still he worried at the mainframe’s powers of deduction. Mere moments after his robotic quarry had fallen these investigators had arrived, representing the mechanical law that now governed this once vibrant human city. He knew they would be here for hours, and that he could not move for fear of discovery during that time. Thus, in a murky corner of a soot stained rooftop the murderer hunkered in, blending into the shadows of the city’s dismal noir.

MNDSCP investigates intricate mechanical sonics with his latest PLOT HOLE EP on EATBRAIN, which follows 2019’s Hogzilla EP and a slew of other releases under his earlier Mindscape name on the label. PLOT HOLE sees MNDSCP in full force as he delivers four tracks driven by his signature tech focused sound within a thematically inspired sinister soundscape that invites the EATBRAIN horde to investigate their every undulation.
